Our mission

A lot of companies will either hire an external firm or have a management off-site meeting where, over a couple of good bottles of wine, 10 people do this. It took us 5 months to do our mission statement because we did it from the bottom up. We took in every idea. We had debates. We had work groups. It changed, and it was modified and tweaked. But by the time we finished, everybody knows our mission statement and the subtleties of every word.

Our History

Where we've been

More than 2 decades ago, Red Hat had a vision for developing better software. Since then, we’ve worked with an ecosystem of IT leaders, open source advocates, developers, and partners to create the perfect foundation for the future of IT. But that was just the beginning.

Where we're headed

We believe open, hybrid technology is the future of IT. The operating system for the cloud is open source. Hybrid IT is a reality in every organization, and ultimately, open technology gives you control over today’s trends and your own future.
